Mwee. I would like to share to you people the new anime I'm currently obsessed with. It was made by the people who worked on 'Tsukihime' a very populat H-doujin in Japan.

Allow me to introduce....Fate/Stay Night.

Fate/Stay Night is a popular H Japanese visual novel game created by TYPE-MOON in 2004. It appears to take place in the same world as their signature work, Tsukihime, although they explore different themes. It is the first commercial title of TYPE-MOON.

An anime series is also in the works by Studio Deen, with the official announcement and teaser trailer being shown at Rondo Robe 2005 "-Gate to Date-" event on June 26, 2005.

New Life Anime (http://www.newlifeanime.com/) is currently working on translating the game. The demo has been completely translated by Insani (http://www.insani.org/)

Spoiler warning: Plot or ending details follow.

Fate/Stay Night is about events in the life of a high-school boy, Emiya Shir¨, who lives in Fuyuki City. At a young age his parents died in a fire and he was adopted by Emiya Kiritsugu, an enigmatic man who called himself a sorcerer. Eventually, Kiritsugu passed away as well.

Unknown to him and the rest of Fuyuki City, their city is the battleground for a secret war. When the time is right, sorcerers from near and far gather with their Servants - the summoned spirits of heroes so mighty they exist outside of time - and fight a war for possession of the Holy Grail, a relic said to grant its owner a wish. The true names of the Servants reveal their weaknesses, and so they are usually referred to by a classification of type instead; Saber, Archer, Rider, Berserker, Lancer, Caster, and Assassin.

When returning from cleaning his archery club's dojo one day, Shir¨ accidentally sees two of the Servants, Archer and Lancer, battling in the school yard. To preserve the secrecy of the war, Lancer mortally wounds him; but a girl who up until now seemed a normal classmate of his, T¨saka Rin, saves his life using a magical pendant. As he continues home, bewildered, Lancer attacks him again. Just before he's about to die for good, the servant Saber appears before him, greeting him with the words "Art thou my master?"

Inexorably, he is drawn further and further into the Grail War...

Main characters

Surnames are first when given, in the Japanese style (except for Ilya.)

Emiya Shir¨ (ÐlŒm Ê¿ÀÉ) - The main character of the game. He is a serious boy and a hard worker, in the second year of high school. His hobbies are fixing all sorts of broken things, like VCRs and stoves, and cooking (although he denies that one.) He learned some sorcery from his adoptive father Kiritsugu, but was never very good at it. Initially, he is confused by the Grail War, and tries to fight only to protect himself or to defeat true evil. He has a secret crush on T¨saka Rin.
Saber - Shir¨'s servant. Looks like a young woman, but is very strong. The class of Saber is said to be the most powerful of the Servants. Very loyal, and doesn't reveal many emotions, but likes stuffed animals(particularly lions). She eats and sleeps an awful lot, seemingly because Shir¨ can't supply her with much mana and she needs to preserve what she has, but perhaps because she enjoys it as well...
T¨saka Rin (ßhÛà ÁÝ) - Shir¨'s classmate, and secretly a sorcerer in the Grail War. Member of a family of sorcerers, and powerful in her own right. Her father died in the previous Grail War, and she is fighting in this one to succeed him, with no real wish of her own. It seems she likes Shir¨ as well, as she would have let him die if she hadn't known who he was. Her servant is Archer, whom she disliked at first (she wanted Saber.)
Mat¨ Sakura (égÍ© —@) - A first-year in high school. After Kiritsugu died, she's been going over to Shir¨'s house to help him with living on his own. She's shy on the outside, but has an inner strength.
Ilyasveil von Einzbern - "Ilya." A little girl, or so it appears, who came from outside the country to fight in the Grail War. Accordingly, she's a powerful sorcerer. She lives in a castle outside Fuyuki City with two maids. She acts strangely towards Shir¨, alternately chatting amiably with him and asking her Servant, Berserker, to kill him.
Archer - Rin's servant. Due to being summoned roughly, he lost his memory of his previous life and Grail Wars. He's sarcastic and cynical, which made Rin instantly dislike him, but once past that he's reliable and a good person at heart. Although he's an Archer class, he can hold his own in close combat as well, preferring to use a pair of daggers.
Lancer - Considered the most agile of the Servants. Seems to be a honorable warrior, although he swears a lot. Calls his own Master a coward for hiding his identity.
Berserker - Ilya's servant. The class of Berserker sacrifices their sanity for incredible power; they tend to destroy themselves due to their Masters losing control over them, but Ilya seems to do it with ease...
Kotomine Kirei (ÑÔ·å ¾_Àñ) - Through an agreement between the Mages' Association and the Church, the Grail Wars are managed by a member of the Church. He's actually a member of both. He fought in the previous Grail War, where his father was the manager, and his father died protecting him; he feels obliged to take his place. Although far lower ranked in the Church then Ciel (from Tsukihime) was, he uses some of the same weapons as her.

Minor characters

Mat¨ Shinji - Sakura's older brother, a popular boy who is an old friend of Shir¨'s. He openly likes Rin, but she snubs him. He doesn't think it's good for his younger sister to visit Shir¨'s house every day.
Ry¨±d¨ Issei - Another friend of Shir¨'s.
Fujimura Taiga and Kuzuki S¨ichir¨ - Teachers at Shir¨'s school.
Mitsuzuri Ayako - Captain of the archery club. Rin's friend.
Makidera Kaede, Himuro Kane and Saegusa Yukika - Rin's classmates. All three are on the track team.
Leysritt and Sella - Ilya's maids.
Rider, Caster and Assassin - At the start of the game, nothing is known about these three servants beyond their existence.

There ya have it. Fate/Stay Night. I personally like the pairing Rin Tohsaka x Archer...I find them so cute together. (Maybe because their outfit looks similar or to my now obsession towards the Crimson colors. Hmmm)

Oh dear gawds! I forgot to go online yesterday because I went home exactly 7:00pm, and that's the time I should be doing my assignments. Gomenasai minnasan!

Well actually, yesterday was our Bigkas Sa Dulawait. Our Sophomores participants were preparing for this for 3 weeks, I think? You know, if we happen to beat the 4th year students, our batch will be a legend for Woodridge! Can't you believe that? 2nd year won against the 4th year in the Bigkas Sa Dulawit?

Sadly though, we were only in the 1st place. It goes like this people...

Champion: 4th Year
1st Runner up: 2nd Year
2nd Runner up: 3rd Year
3rd Runner up: 1st Year

Hah! But we won against the 3rd year! Happy! Whheeeee!!! Discipline is always the key to success. Hahaha.

Suffering from an aching back.

“Pray for me. XD” -Kyouyasha

Jessuz… so much work, so much body pains. I can’t believe that this is not my lucky day! Here’s, I forgot my assignment in Statistics (good thing I’m one of the Artist Team or else I won’t be excused), then here’s having this pimple in my nose, I got poked in the eye HARD (I think my eyeballs went back) and those creepy mini-projects given. Not my day, NOT my DAY!

Good thing though, the only miracle that happened today is that there was an announcement that there’s no classes on MONDAY! Yay! *cheers* Now I will a lot of time to but that Barot Saya or whatever costume. More rest for us! Hahaha!

SHINGETSUTAN TSUKIHIME (Tales of the True Moon)

“Currently, this is one of the anime that is now in my Top 10.”

“I’ll make you take responsibility for killing me.” –Arcrueid Brunestud

I was able to watch this when Rex (a friend of mine) lended me 13 CDs which contains the anime Little Snow Fairy, Macross and this. (Shingetsutan Tsukihime) At the start, the cool opening song and animation drawn me closer to watch this. The first episode was interesting, woman getting killed by a vampire in a parking lot. Then there’s Shiki Tohno (who looks like Keitaro from Love Hina) with a cool hair and red eyes!

Tsukihime, Lunar Legend is the story of Shiki Tohno. As a young boy, Shiki suffered a very life-threatening injury. As a result of the injury, he is now able to see "life lines" on objects and people which, when cut, will destroy them. Still a young boy, he is given a special pair of glasses by a mysterious woman that allows him not to see the lines.

Fast forward to Shiki's high school days. After years away from the Tohno household (where he was sent after his injury), he moves back home following the death of the head of the Tohno family, Shiki's father. Shiki's sister, Akiha assumes responsibility of being the new head.

One day, Shiki is walking home from school when he meets a beautiful woman, Arcueid Brunestud. Shiki feels drawn to kill the woman, but he later thinks that her murder was all just a nightmare, until she reappears in front of him. Arcueid is a vampire princess. As a result of this, Arcueid recruits Shiki to help fight Roa, the antagonist vampire who has been on a killing spree of late.

Sounds cool right? For a plot that is. The anime’s story get deeper and deeper as it progresses. Other important characters will appear, introducing:

Ciel (the woman with the coolest fashion of all!) - An upperclassman of Shiki's, or so it seems. She is the only member of the Japanese tea ceremony club. She is actually a vampire hunter for the Catholic Church and finds Arcueid detestable (but is torn, because she likes Shiki). Her body was used in Roa's last incarnation, and until Roa dies, she cannot.

Akiha Tohno - Shiki's younger sister and the new head of the Tohno household. She is very prim and proper and carries a grace and nobility about her. As the story progresses, the viewer discovers that she has had mysterious powers since childhood.

Hisui & Kohaku - The only two maids in the Tohno mansion. They are twin sisters but act very differently. Hisui seems to be very cold and emotionless while Kohaku is always smiling and cheerful. They even wear different dress; Hisui wears a western maid uniform while Kohaku wears a Japanese kimono.

Nrvnqsr Chaos - Pronounced as "Nero", this vampire is known as the tenth of the twenty-seven Ancestors of Dead Apostles, the highest in rank of the vampires in Tsukihime. Has 666 beasts on his body, from deers and wolves to mythological creatures like unicorns. Nrvnqsr is a word play: If you add each letter in the Hebrew numbering system, it becomes 666. Shiki fights him along with Arcueid by the first third part of the story.

Roa - Not much is known about Roa at the start of the series, only that he is a vampire on a killing spree.

Aoko Aozaki - A mysterious red-haired woman who always carries a suitcase. She met with Shiki eight years prior to the start of the series, and to this day, is the only person he will call "Teacher". She gave Shiki a pair of glasses, the Mystic Eyes Killer, that block out the life lines and allow him to live a normal life.

Arihiko Inui - Shiki's classmate and best friend. His parents died when he was young, and he lives with his sister, Ichiko (who never appears in the anime.)

Makihisa Tohno - Makihisa) The patriarch of the Tohno family. Dies just prior to the events of Tsukihime.

Satsuki Yamikuza – Shiki’s classmate.

INUYASHA the 4th movie: Guren no Horaijima (Fire on the Mystic Island)

The mysterious island of Houraijima has reappeared after 50 years, and with its reappearance has brings the attack of four gods, the Shitoushin, who have their eyes set on the powers that protect and sustain the island.

Six survivng hanyou children of Houraijima send the youngest, a little girl called Ai, to the outside world for help. Arriving on the shore of the outside world, she finds Inuyasha, and asks him to help her and the others. In the past, he and Kikyou had visited Houraijima, where they fought with the Shitoushin. In doing that, Inuyasha received the "Guren," a clawlike, crimson wound (of four slashes) on his back.

Along with Kagome, Sango, Miroku, Shippou, and Kirara, he agrees to help Ai and the endangered hanyou children because of his connection to the island. Sesshoumaru had also fought one of the Shitoushin and received the same wound.

Now that Houraijima has reappeared, the wounds reappear on the backs of the six hanyou children of Houraijima, Inuyasha, and Sesshoumaru, and call for the defeat of the Shitoshin in order to break the "curse" (I'm putting that in quotes because I didnt' quite catch if it was an actual curse or just some kind of obligatoin to defeat the Shitoshin...) and make the Guren wounds disappear. It seems like the Shitoushin seek the power of the hanyou children to regenerate their own powers. Now, the oldest child, a girl named Asagi, is called to be the next sacrifice for them.

The hanyou childen explain that the power protecting the island is called the 'meidou no kama,' which holds the spirit of the miko Kanade. This miko had died fighting the four Shitoushin in the past, but not before sealing the powers of the Shitoushin into four spheres. Kanade gives Inuyasha and Asagi the sealed box containing the gods' powers...

The Shitoushin create a replica of Kikyou using her blood that they had collected when she first visited the island 50 years ago. Using this recreateion of Kikyou, the Shitoushin attack Inuyasha and use her miko powers in order to steal the sealed box containing their powers and try to break the seal of their strength...

Now it's up to Inuyasha and his friends, the six hanyou children, Sesshoumaru, and Kikyou, to find a way to defeat the poweful Shitoushin and lift the Guren wounds...

***

"KEH!" Just thinking about this movie being shown in Japan is making me nuts and really wants to fly off just to go there. But I can't...I'm no superman...errr, woman that can go *boosh!* the air, ya know?

But anyway, since this is the 4th Inuyasha movie installment, I was really expecting a much more neater animation on the the Inu-tachi and some other characters involve. And whadday know? It is f**king good! Good that my bloved Kikyo is here....and can transform into BATTLE ARMORED KIKYO! XDDDDD Boosh yeah! Imagine it that Inuyasha and her are fighting each other. Ahaha, I can't help imagining that. Kikyo using a sword? *dies laughing*

Due to my habit of going to heaven-hell just to look for undiscovered Kikyo/Inuyasha x Kikyo shrine, I stumbled into a WHOLE different featuring Kikyo and....Suikotsu!

It all begins while Suikotsu's at the small village at the base of Mount

Hakurei, and Kikyou, like the rest of the main cast, has come to Ushitora looking for where Naraku's evil aura had disappeared to. As she's passing through, she senses a shard and approaches the small hut that Suikotsu and the children reside in. As she walks closer, she notices him tending to an elderly woman's hand and notes the Shikon shard in his neck. It's then that a young girl named Chiyo goes over to Kikyou, saying "Wow, what a pretty miko." Kikyou kneels to the girl's level and asks who Suikotsu is. Chiyo tells her that he's their Doctor. It's then that Suikotsu and Kikyou formally introduce themselves to each other; Kikyou is still perplexed as to how his shard can be so pure and realizes that like her, he's also dead. A bit later, we see them inside, having a brief conversation while the children sleep. He tells her about how he's been caring for the orphaned children, and even pauses to tuck one in their futon better, while Kikyou simply stares at him. Outside, a group of men from the village approach the hut, carrying a man who has injured himself on a farming scythe. Upon seeing the blood, Suikotsu pales and begins to sweat. Kikyou walks up behind him and offers her assistance, then she asks him if he's okay (having noticed him pale). He begins to treat the wound, but Kikyou continues to note how shaky he is, and how badly he's sweating and offers to take over. Once Kikyou is finished tending to the man's wound, she goes outside to find Suikotsu and Chiyo feeding some birds. Suikotsu offers his apologies for having to back out like that, and is embarrassed by it happening. Kikyou asks if he's always been a doctor in that area, to which he tells her about coming from the East and wandering for a while until he settled down in that town. This is interrupted when he glances at his hands, and swears to see blood on them, which he attempts to wash clean. Kikyou looks on perplexed as he scrubs at the invisible blood on his hands.

That night, Kikyou goes out with her shinidamachuu to gather more souls to maintain her being. A bit later in the night, we see Suikotsu sleeping inside the hut, and obviously having a bad dream. He's dreaming about the young girl from the past and the Shichinin-tai, and how his other side claims he's not a kind-hearted man. This causes him to wake abruptly in a cold sweat, as Kikyou calls in through the door. He goes to great her, and comments on what a nice day it's looking to be. Kikyou, once again, mentally questions how he can't have any evil in him.

As Suikotsu, Chiyo and a young boy named Yuuta are out gathering senburi (an herbal plant), the village leader converses with Kikyou, telling her about the "Suikotsu" of the Shichinin-tai. Meanwhile, InuYasha and his group have confronted Suikotsu, believing that he is one of the Shichinin-tai that is after them, InuYasha attacks him. Kikyou, sensing Kagome's shards that Renkotsu had stolen moving into the area, goes to find out what's going on. InuYasha, figuring the doctor thing is simply a cover like what Renkotsu used in pretending to be a monk, and continues to insist that Suikotsu is one of the Shichinin-tai after them. It's then that Ginkotsu, Renkotsu and Jakotsu begin to attack the village in an attempt to lure Suikotsu out. Down in the village itself, Kikyou is already there, trying to get villagers to safety, and ready to fight with her bow and arrow. Suikotsu arrives on the scene then, and is shocked when the three members of the Shichinin-tai seem to recognize him and berate him for being so hard to track down. He has a brief flash to his dream from the night before, but still denies knowing any of them. As him and Kikyou stand side by side facing off with the three killers, InuYasha and his group approach, stopping abruptly when they noticed Kikyou standing by Suikotsu. While Renkotsu attacks InuYasha's group, Jakotsu begins to try and snap Suikotsu by attacking him. It's then that Kikyou steps in to protect Suikotsu, and she fires her purified arrow at Jakotsu to stop him. To make up for Jakotsu having to dodge the arrow, Renkotsu has Ginkotsu fire directly at Kikyou, knocking her to the ground. Due to the impact, she begins to lose the souls she's gathered. Suikotsu rushes over to her, and pulls her head up against his lap a bit, when Chiyo and Yuuta run onto the scene. Jakotsu sends out his snake-blade towards them and Suikotsu quickly stands and blocks the blades, getting a gash across his back and shoulder. The children run to him, to see if he's okay, but the wound and the blood cause him to start to revert to his other side. His shard turns dark, his hair spikes upward, and green-markings appear on his face as he grabs Yuuta around the neck. InuYasha steps in, saving Yuuta, then him and Suikotsu face off. Seeing that the children seem to still be affecting Suikotsu, Renkotsu orders Jakotsu to kill them, but when he goes to do so, Suikotsu grabs his head and cries out to stop. Realizing they can't fight until Suikotsu stabilizes in his other personality, the three members of the Shichinin-tai take Suikotsu and leave.

At this time, InuYasha and the others take Kikyou further away from the barrier so that the shinidamachuu can bring her the souls she needs. Once she's revived, she tells them about the barrier around Mount Hakurei and how it affected Suikotsu's shard- keeping it pure until he snapped. InuYasha asks her what she wants to do, and she tells him to leave her, that she wants to go take care of the children for a while.

Suikotsu, along with the other Shichinin-tai, meets up with Bankotsu- their leader. Bankotsu has been planning an attack on the Daimyou that had betrayed them ten years before, and with the others, Suikotsu helps to extract their revenge. While somewhat relaxing in the remains of the courtyard, Kouga shows up, looking to attack them. He faces off with Bankotsu until InuYasha appears, then a fight between the two groups breaks out, Suikotsu facing off with Miroku until orders from the Saimyoushou make the Shichinin-tai retreat. Then they meet up with Kohaku and Kanna, and are given the message that Sesshoumaru is also to be gotten rid of. Bankotsu chooses to send Jakotsu and Suikotsu out on this mission.

While Suikotsu and Jakotsu are out looking for Sesshoumaru, Kikyou ventures forth again, and ends up running into Bankotsu. At first it seems that they're going to fight, but they end up talking instead. She asks him why he remains in the world if all he's going to do is kill, and he tells her that he's done that before, so why should it change now that he's dead. He says he doesn't worry about the afterlife, but that he might as well make the best of things while alive again. Then he says "Well Missy, us dead people all have the same sorry end waiting for us." Then walks off, saying that they should both merely hope that they can at least remain alive a little while longer.

Meanwhile, Suikotsu and Jakotsu have found their target and begun to attack. Suikotsu trying to go after Rin, and ending up falling down into the river below when the bridge breaks. Downstream, Rin panics when she awakens in Suikotsu's arms-but now, his hair is down and he once again claims to be the kind doctor from before.

Kikyou looks on from a cliff, sensing the pure shard nearing the village, she knows its Suikotsu and heads towards the village herself. Suikotsu is already there, introducing Rin to the other children, while Jakotsu watches from nearby. It's then that the village leader and some men ride in on horses, demanding that Suikotsu leave and blaming him for the Shichinin-tai attacking the village before. It's then that he out of nowhere, attacks them, obviously not being entirely kind as his appearance would suggest. Seeing this happen, Rin tries to run, but is apprehended by Jakotsu. Suikotsu then starts to raise his claws against the children, but can't bring himself to do it. He even flashes to a vision of Kikyou and curses at himself for it "Crap! Why am I seeing HER face at a time like this!" As this is happening, Kikyou is approaching the village in hopes that she can stop Suikotsu's shard from becoming completely dark again. Suikotsu and Jakotsu leave, without hurting the children, but still taking Rin hostage to use against Sesshoumaru.

Kikyou makes it to the village, and asks the children what happened (even though she pretty much figured it out after seeing the distinct slash marks in the elder's bodies.) She quickly takes one of the horses, and despite the risk it will cause her own being, rides off towards Mount Hakurei.

At the base of Mount Hakurei- Jakotsu is fighting Sesshoumaru while Suikotsu holds Rin to the side. Finally, he makes a move as if to kill the girl, and Sesshoumaru throws the Toukijin at him, stabbing him in the upper chest. Since he does have a Shikon shard, this doesn't effect him, and he goes to kill Rin once again, this time to be stopped by a purity arrow that hits him in the neck. Kikyou staggers her way over to the fallen body, using her bow as a crutch, and kneels beside Suikotsu's fallen body. He opens his eyes, and turns towards her, calling her name. It's then that she realizes her arrow purified his shard, returning him to the kind-hearted Doctor she knew. Given this situation, Kikyou can't decide what to do with him. It's then that Suikotsu asks her to remove his shard and put him at peace. He tells her, he remembers that he's died once already. Suikotsu then tells Kikyou the entire story of his past- the young girl in the village, the first time he heard the voice inside his head, and how he came to join the Shichinin-tai. Hating his other side for killing so many, and being unable to stop it he feels that there was no saving himself. Kikyou tries to console him by telling him all humans have good and evil in their hearts too and that he mustn't lose to his evil side. Suikotsu pleads with her, even crying as he once again requests that she take his shard and put him to rest before he can kill again. Kikyou starts to reach out for the shard, then hesitates- part of her still wishing she could save him. She reflects on what Bankotsu told her about all dead people sharing the same fate, and once again tries for the shard and hesitates. It's then that Jakotsu's blade slices the shard free and he takes it, getting it before Kikyou could. Kikyou starts to panic a little, but Suikotsu tells her it's fine, that it's what he wanted. His body then returns to bones. Kikyou kneels beside the body a little longer, and simply says "Suikotsu, please rest in peace" before having to leave before all her souls left her.

And so ends their time together. Although it was brief, they shared an understanding, and a common bond that ran very deep.

Wheee...what a good day to start a day getting late in the line formation. Happy right? I can't even walk properly because i'm wearing this creepy malong and tights (which is really tight, I should say). By the way, it was an accident that I was wearing till school my pink slippers because I was in fuse why my service was late like hell. Not my day.

Anyway, back on topic...the opening of Buwan of Wika was done today, August 23, by the Grade 5 students. It should be yesterday but since there was no classes, it was postponed. To tell you the truth, the Grade 5's performance was very boring, I want to sleep rather than watching their show. *gets beaten by all the grade 5* ....Ow.

And to think that after the assembly was going back again to regular classes! I thought it was supposed to be homeroom only because all of us were wearing Pilipinyana costumes. I tell you, it's REALLY hard to study wearing a malong. Trust me. Good thing though, we only studied 3 subject (total is actually 10 in one day), Araling Panlipunan, Math and English. Then we were happy. *cheers*

P.S: I can't believe my Bryan is already wearing braces. I wonder what the hell came into his mind to wear those. O.o;

Greetings, err...fellow people here in the blue-green gum ball! You have just entered The Bloodstained Alley. This will deal mostly on my obsessions, what crazy things I do AND Inuyasha and Kikyou.

Anyway, I've decided to make a newbie xanga since there's no classes today (for I don't know reason) and I think it sucks! Just when I was already prepared, my school driver told us that there's no freaking classes! Baaahhh...

Also, since there's no classes, I have alot of time now to search for more rare Inuyasha and Kikyo pics on the net. There's one site that I've visited which made me fell completely in love with Kikyo in Armor. (See. Inuyasha Movie: Guren No Horaijima). This are the only sites I've visited so far:
